There are many souvenir shops at the door, selling two euros of commemorative coins. The temple is long-standing and beautifully decorated, and it is especially quiet to enter it. The church features his tall stained glass windows, which shine in the sun and are beautiful. Entry is not expensive and is a very worthwhile attraction. The Temple of Saint-Ceresus (Basilique Saint-Nazaire-et-Saint-Celse de Carcassonne) is a Roman Catholic secondary temple located in the southern French city of Carcassonne and is listed as a historical monument in France. It was the Cathedral of Carcasson until 1801 and has since been replaced by the Cathedral of St. Michel of Carcasson, which was originally built in the 6th century under the reign of Theodoric the Great. On June 12, 1096, Urbano II visited and blessed the stone used to build the Cathedral of Saint Nazareus and Saint Cersus, completed in the first half of the 12th century. It was built on the site of the Cathedral of the Caroline Dynasty, and the old church was no longer traceable. The underground chamber was also the same. From 1269 to 1330, the church was expanded to the Gothic style of France. The exterior of the church was converted by Violet Le Duque and the interior was basically preserved. The first church will be built in the 16th century, during the reign of Theodore, the regent of the Visigothic Kingdom. The first real act of mentioning this church dates back to 925. In 1096, Pope Urbain II came to Carcasson and blessed the stones of St. Nazaire and St. Seles Cathedrals. The building was completed in the first half of the 12th century. The building was remodeled several times and lost its cathedral status in 1801, replaced by St. Michel's Church in Bastiede. In 1898, it was awarded the cathedral title by Pope Leo XIII. Open to the public from 9am to 12pm in summer and from 2pm to 7pm in winter, from 9am to 12pm and from 2pm to 5pm. Mass is held every Sunday at 11am. Saint-Nazaire-et-Saint-Celse de Carcassonne is one of the 14 state-owned cathedrals in the Occitanie area. It is a composite building consisting of a Romanesque nave and a triple nave in the 11th century, surrounded in harmony by a huge cross section and a radiant Gothic back hall (second half of the 13th century). If the mighty Romanesque nave can be surprised by its simplicity and Half Shadow, the temple constitutes an extraordinary Gothic ensemble. Through the dematerialization of its architecture, the stone willingly disappears into the vast bay, with its richness of carving decoration and the luxury of stained glass windows.
